Hello,
modify the lilo.conf adding the 'restricted' and 'password' entries like the
following (don't forget to rerun lilo after that!:-):
-------------lilo.conf-------------------
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
compact
prompt
timeout=200
default=linux
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36-1
label=rescue
root=/dev/hdb1
read-only
alias=rr
restricted
password=YOUR_BIG_SECRET
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.0.36-1-custom
label=linux
root=/dev/hdb1
read-only
alias=ll
restricted
password=YOUR_BIG_SECRET
other=/dev/hda1
label=dos
table=/dev/hda
alias=crap
-----------end lilo.conf--------------
YOUR_BIG_SECRET... will be your 'single' boot passwd,
I didn't try, but only 'restricted' maybe will prompt you for the root passwd:-).
Hope that helps
ciao fede
